Vinous (N. Martin - May 2019): 98/100 "The 2017 Taylor's Vintage Port comes from their three quintas: Vargellas, de Terra Feita and do Jundo, picking commencing at Vargellas on September 1, the earliest since 1945. Now this boasts a bold and more flamboyant bouquet vis-à-vis the Croft with layers of blackcurrant, blueberries, violet and allspice. Wonderful definition here and as it ratchets up through the gears with aeration manages to maintain impressive delineation. The palate is medium, rather full-bodied. The first impression is one of freshness, completely disguising that summer's dryness and warmth, a disarming finesse built around the frame of tannins that would have been impossible years ago. It is a silky-smooth Taylor's, one of the most polished 2017 Vintage Ports with energy and tension flooding through the finish. Aristoctatic as ever, totally Taylor's, yet still translating the growing season with aplomb. Total production is 11 ,500 cases."
